Serie A players in fear as fan violence and spectre of match-fixing return
http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/apr/28/serie-a-violence-match-fixing
I think they are exaggerating the threat of violence from the Ultras in Italy just now, but some of the match-fixing stuff sounds interesting.
De Sanctis (and Napoli?) fucked?
"When caught, players deny everything, including the Naples goalkeeper who claimed innocence for hours until he was made to listen to a wiretap of himself offering to distribute bribes to teammates."
I'm assuming the article despite speaking about Naples means Napoli and not just a goalkeeper born in Naples.
